I think it is easier to get into a locked trunk containing your keys if
you have a spare key in your wallet.

How easy do you feel it is to get into a locked truck containing
both your keys and your spare key? It is quite easy for people
to repeat mistakes in sequence.

That depends. Are your lockpicks in the trunk as well? If so,
can you find a couple paper-clips? [The larger ones work best
for auto locks.] In general, auto door (and trunk) locks are
rather cheap and badly made -- which makes them fairly easy to
pick.

Not as easy as using the spare key when the trunk contains all the tools
you'd need to remove the console. Which is much more likely than locking
one's wallet in the trunk.

OK, this is getting silly--no more Duvels for Leon tonight. He might
lock himself in the trunk.

Actually, I was explaining a post to you that you had trouble
comprehending, but anyway.

My propensity for locking the keys in the trunk is indeed why I
disconnected in the passenger compartment. I keep a phlips under the
seat. The average thief does not have the time or nerve to hang out in
my fairly busy neighborhood long enough to remove all that stuff even
if they figured it was easy to reconnect.
